Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dental restoration cementing device according to the preamble of independent claim 1 and more particularly to a dental restoration cementing assembly and a method of cementing a dental restoration to a base.
  • dental restorations have a closable axial passage and bases have hollow interiors open into an occlusal direction.
  • Such cementing devices comprise an elastic body portion dimensioned to tightly fit into the hollow interior of the base via the passage of the dental restoration for sealing the interior of the base. With the sealed interior the base can be cemented to the dental restoration.
  • dental restoration For dental restoration, often damaged or lost teeth are replaced by artificial teeth which comprise dental restorations such as bridges, crowns or the like. Thereby, the dental restorations are placed either on remainders of original teeth or on implants set as artificial roots into jaw bones.
  • Known restorations usually are made of materials which meet specific requirements such as biocompatibility, robustness, longevity and the like.
  • metal dental restorations e.g. made of gold or zirconium
  • other materials are preferred which optically better suit to the appearance of natural teeth.
  • ceramic materials, composite materials, fiber-reinforced composites or acrylic glasses Polymethylmethacrylate - PMMA
  • the materials of crows are typically chosen in consideration of the requirements for being used as teeth such aesthetic requirements, mechanical conditions and the like.
  • these materials are often not suitable. Therefore, usually an intermediate structure is provided between the dental restoration and the implant or remainder.
  • Widespread intermediate structures are bases which are cemented to the crowns. For example, for being connected to titanium implants often crowns are cemented to titanium bases which are then placed on and connected to the implant.
  • restorations are cemented on bases outside the mouth by a dental technician or dentist.
  • specific adhesives are used as cements wherein many cements are mixed of plural components before being applied.
  • the cemented bases and restorations are then connected to the implants or remainders in the mouth wherein the bases contact the implants or remainders.
  • the dental restoration together with the base is fixed to the implant by means of a screw axially projecting through the dental restoration and the base into the implant.
  • a model For cementing a dental restoration on a base, often a model is used. For that purpose, at least a portion of the mouth in which an implant is set for mounting the dental restoration is modelled by a dental technician or a dentist using known modelling techniques.
  • model based cementing allows for precisely cementing the restoration to the base and for providing sophisticated cemented restoration-base-structures it is comparably cumbersome. For example, such techniques require the models to be generated.
  • patients have to separately see the dental technician or dentist after setting the implant. Thereafter, the dental technician or dentist builds the model and cements the crown to the base. Then, the cemented crown and base are mounted to the implant in a separate step.
  • cementing is comparably time consuming, causes a comparably large effort and is comparably expensive.
  • the invention deals with a dental restoration cementing assembly
  • a dental restoration cementing assembly comprising a dental restoration having a closable axial passage, a base adapted to extend into the passage of the dental restoration and having a hollow interior which is open into an occlusal direction, and a dental restoration cementing device.
  • the dental restoration cementing device comprises a preferably elastic body portion dimensioned to tightly fit into the hollow interior of the base via the passage of the restoration. It further comprises a hollow cementing portion extending from the body portion.
  • the cementing portion has a lateral opening which is located outside the base when the body portion is fitted into the hollow interior of the base such that a pathway is formed from the interior of the cementing portion through the lateral opening into a gap between the restoration and the base.
  • restoration can relate to the outermost structure of an artificial tooth. It can particularly be a crown or a bridge or the like. Within dental restoration it can cap or encircle a dental implant and form the visible portion of the artificial tooth and its chewing face. Advantageously, it has the shape of the tooth to be replaced by the restoration.
  • restorations such as crowns are made of a metal, a metal ceramic, a ceramic, zirconium, zirconium dioxide, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), a composite, a fiber-reinforced composite or another material having color and properties similar to natural teeth.
  • axial as used herein relates to an axis of the device or assembly. This axis can particularly correspond to an axis of the tooth to be replaced or fixed.
  • the axial passage When being applied in the mouth, the axial passage, thus, can extend from an occlusal surface of the restoration to the implant. Thereby, the passage can be closable in order to have a proper surface when being mounted to the implant. For example, a suitable plug can be pressed into the passage after the restoration is mounted to the implant.
  • the term "base” as used herein can relate to a substructure or intermediate structure to be integrated in the restoration for being mounted to an implant or abutment.
  • the base can be a structure made of a metal such as titanium which forms a connector to the implant. It can be adapted to extend into the passage of the restoration. Thereby, it can align and hold the restoration.
  • the base can particularly be cup shaped or sleeve shaped having a cylindrical or conical section and an implant face section.
  • the term "axial end” can relate to an end of the body portion facing into a direction of an implant in an intended application of the dental restoration. It can be the end in an apical direction.
  • the base can have a hollow interior in order that a mounting element such as a screw can be provided through the base and the restoration for fixing the base to an implant.
  • the hollow interior can be adapted to receive a head of a screw which fixes the base and the restoration to the implant.
  • the base can have an opening which is dimensioned to allow the post of the screw to pass but not the head.
  • the term "tightly fit" in connection with the body portion can relate to the ability to suit or to close the interior of the base.
  • the body portion can tightly close the interior of the base for the liquid cement such that it can be prevented that cement enters the interior of the base or that the cement travels through the interior of the base. Rather, the cement or the major portion thereof can be provided around the base where it lies inside the passage of the dental restoration.
  • the body portion can be conical.
  • a conical shape allows the dental restoration cementing device to be use with plural differing geometries of bases.
  • bases of different diameters can be closed by the same body portion.
  • the body portion can be equipped with a circumferential protrusion or a bulge dimensioned to seal the interior of the base.
  • the material of the body portion can have an elasticity sufficient to tightly abut the occlusal end of the body when being pushed into its interior.
  • occlusal direction as used in connection with the hollow interior of the base can relate to a direction essentially towards a biting surface of the artificial tooth in an intended application of the base and restoration.
  • the artificial tooth can particularly comprise the restoration and the base.
  • the body portion can be shape to only fit into the interior of the base near its occlusal end. Or it can advantageously be dimensioned to axially extend through more or less the whole base such that it extends from the occlusal end of the base to its apical end.
  • the term “occlusal” as used herein can relate to a direction towards the biting surface of the artificial tooth or the dental restoration in its intended application.
  • the term “apical” can relate to a direction towards a root of the tooth which is intended to be replaced or fixed. Occlusal and apical directions can be opposite.
  • lateral as used in connection with the opening of the cementing portion can relate to a direction essentially perpendicular to an occlusal direction, apical direction or axial direction.
  • the opening can be provided in a side wall of the hollow cementing portion.
  • the lateral opening can be located outside the base at or near an occlusal end of the base.
  • the tem "occlusal end” can relate to the end of the base in the occlusal direction.
  • the lateral opening can be located inside the interior of the base between the occlusal end thereof and a protrusion or bulge sealing the interior of the base.
  • the lateral opening can extend from outside to inside the base.
  • the body portion can be arranged through the passage of the dental restoration into the interior of the base. Thereby, the body portion is advanced until it tightly fits into the interior of the base and closes the latter. Then a cement is pushed into the hollow cementing portion such that it is pressed though the lateral opening and is provided in between the base and the dental restoration. Since the interior of the base is tightly closed by the body portion of the dental restoration cementing device it is prevented that any cement enters the base or that cement travels through the interior of the base. This allows for conveniently force the cement in the complete gap between the base such that, after being cured, the cement uniformly and evenly adheres the dental restoration to the base. Furthermore, this allows for providing a clean working space and for reducing any remains of cement. If any cement is positioned inside the base it is removed when withdrawing the device.
  • the dental restoration cementing device allows for precisely, quickly and cost efficiently cementing the dental restoration to the base.
  • the body portion and the cementing portion are one piece or integrally made of the same material.
  • the material is elastic to an appropriate extent and does not chemically interact with the cement. It can particularly be a plastic material such as a polyoxymethylene (POM).
  • POM polyoxymethylene
  • Such a material allows for providing an appropriate elasticity and inertness with respect to typical cements. Also, such a material can make an efficient manufacture of the dental restoration cementing device possible.
  • the lateral opening comprises a plurality of through holes or slits.
  • a plurality of through holes or slits allows for providing cement around the cementing portion such that a uniform distribution of the cement around the base is conveniently possible.
  • the slits and through holes can have a diameter in the range of about 0.2 millimeter (mm) to about 0.5 mm or particularly of about 0.3 mm.
  • the body portion can be dimensioned to being arranged in the opening of the base at its occlusal end.
  • the body portion preferably comprises a support section which can be reversely oriented in relation to a proximal end.
  • the support section can be used for abutting against a bottom or distal end of the base.
  • proximal in connection with the dental restoration cementing device or specific portions thereof can relate to a direction opposite to the direction into which the dental restoration cementing device is advanced for closing the interior of the base.
  • distal can relate to a direction opposite to the proximal direction.
  • the body portion preferably comprises an axial end with an analogue connection post.
  • an analogue connection post can project into an implant analogue via a through bore in the base when the base arranged on the analogue.
  • the dental restoration and the base can conveniently be mounted to the analogue while being cemented together.
  • the analogue connection post has a thread on its outer surface. Such a thread allows the body portion to be screwed into the implant or tooth analogue for mounting the dental restoration cementing device together with the dental restoration and the base to the analogue.
  • the analogue connection post is dimensioned to be clamped in an opening of an associated analogue.
  • the cementing device can be mounted to the analogue by being press fitted into the opening of the analogue.
  • the connection post can be slightly deformed when being pressed into the opening of the analogue such that it is firmly held by friction.
  • the cementing portion comprises a sealing bulge around its outer circumference.
  • a sealing bulge allows for tightening the cementing portion to the passage of the dental restoration.
  • cement entering between cementing section and the restoration travels out of the passage of the dental restoration.
  • it allows for preventing the cement from being provided to another location than between the dental restoration and the base. This makes a particularly efficient cementing possible.
  • a side wall of the hollow interior of the cementing portion comprises a mixing contour.
  • the mixing contour may allow for mixing plural components of preferably liquid cement directly inside the cementing portion.
  • the mixing contour preferably is essentially helical. Such helical mixing contour makes an efficient mixing of the components of the cement possible.
  • the proximal end of the cementing portion comprises an adapter section for receiving a cement mixing arrangement.
  • the cement mixing arrangement can be a mixing cannula, a cartridge or the like.
  • the single parts of the dental restoration cementing assembly according to the invention can be adapted to each other such that an efficient interaction and application can be achieved.
  • the dental restoration cementing assembly further comprises an implant analogue adapted to receive the base and to be connected to the body portion of the dental restoration cementing device, wherein the base comprises an opening in an apical end side and the body portion is connected to the implant analogue through the opening of the base when being tightly fitted into the hollow interior of the base.
  • analogue can be made of the same material as the implant or any other suitable material such as a material allowing a one-way use. It allows for placing the base and restoration in a well-defined position such that they can be conveniently cemented together.
  • the dental restoration cementing assembly further comprising a carrier stand onto which the implant analogue is mountable.
  • the stand can be manufactured of a metal or a rigid plastic.
  • Such a stand allows for safely arranging the assembly particularly during cementing.
  • the implant analogue preferably is adapted to be screwed onto the carrier stand. This allows for safely mounting the analogue to the stand.
  • Another aspect of the invention relates to a method of cementing a dental restoration on a base.
  • the method comprises the steps of obtaining a dental restoration having a closable axial passage and a base having a hollow interior which is open into an occlusal direction; placing the dental restoration onto the base such that the base extends into the passage of the dental restoration; tightly fitting a body portion of a dental restoration cementing device as described above into the hollow interior of the base such that a cementing portion of the dental restoration cementing device extends through the passage of the dental restoration; pushing a cement into the cementing portion of the dental restoration cementing device such that the cement is provided out of the lateral opening of the cementing portion of the dental restoration cementing device into a gap between the dental restoration and the gap; and curing the cement in the gap between the dental restoration and the base.
